[forevercleaning]

Ber-limey.

Here

oh well done TFM - im still getting the hang of linking stuff!

Cool! and what a great thread typo! there's a scrapyard near me and the 's' on the sign has recently fallen off..

Now for 7 yrs olds???

well it looks like it from what i have read. My DD is year 9 but did some of them this may, just maths to do next year and loks like it wont be happening.

Fantastic news!! My Year 9 DS nearly cryed with joy when I gave him the news

oops, meant 'cried with joy'.

My mum does (I guess now did) SATS marking - I think she won't be quite so pleased.

Hoo-Fecking-ray!!!!!!

Excellent news!!!! Might free up some time for an education!!!

At long bloody last!

My yr9 English class are going to be over the moon!!

so pleased to read this. ds did thema couple of years ago, what a waste of time they were.

Excellent

hooray!!

let's hope they scrap the others as well

This is indeed great news.

Wish Ed Balls had gone further though and scrapped the whole SATS system entirely.

My Y9 son was thrilled to hear this, and so was I.

WTF is this new 'American report card system' that is going to replace it?

We already get efficient reports for DS1. Are teachers going to be forced to change the format. And why do we have to go American. They've already painted some schoolbuses yellow ffs.

Is this for real? For this year's yr9s? I knew it was on the cards for some point in the future, but now! Wow! How fantastic!

Can we start to party now, or is there a catch?
